Show Tuesday, February 17, 1937 Page Three salaries from page one "But unless we can convince the Legislature to give us the funds ue need to be competitive in salaries, what has been built over the five to 10 years could disappear very quickly." College of Pharmacy salaries are ranked 10th out of 10 among its peers. Even when compared to schools that don't have the facilities or reputation of the U. the college is still ranked eighth out of 10, he said. Business generated by the college brings in $2 to S3 for every dollar provided by the Legislature. "If wc are not competitive in salaries, the industry we generate will not come about and the state will suffer," he said. Dean of the Graduate School of Education Cecil Miskcl said his college has already begun to lose some of its best faculty because it cannot compete in salaries. "During the '70s and early '80s the market for education faculty went through the floor. The U. was in a significant TV position at that time because we were hiring and were able to attract some excellent educators," Miskcl said. But now other universities are trying to build back their education colleges and are looking to hire away the U.'s quality faculty. "(Thursday) I had my first calamity. One of our assistant professors told me that he was leaving. "The same day I got a call from another university regarding another member of our staff. They wanted to know if he was as good as they had heard. We are paying him $10,000 less than that school could offer him. "We are being undercut because we are not competitive," Miskel said. Joseph Taylor, dean of the College of Science, says his college is considered a "textbook case of how to achieve success." He said that 20 years ago the College of Science was a mediocre school of little note with a few areas of strength. Today it is one of the best centers of institution. When they lose faith they will leave," he said. When the quality faculty leaves so will the grant money it generates. The College of Science faculty, because of its reputation, brings in about S10 million in grants each scientific research in the Western United States. The departments of biology and mathematics are considered the best in the nation and the chemistry department is No. 2, he said. Schools across the country w ant to imitate its success because of its reputation. They arc offering U. science faculty not only more pay but also deanships and positions as department chairs. Some faculty members have already left. "Because of our reputation we are in a position to hire some people with stunning scientific reputations. "But at the same time that salaries nationwide have been going up, we have suffered two salary freezes. Other schools can offer $15,000 to $25,000 more than we pay our highest paid full professor." Faculty members will stay even if they don't get exactly the same pay they could elscw here, but there is a limit, Taylor says. "Once the salary drops too low, the faculty will lose faith in the future of the year. The average chemist brings in SI 30,000 a year, which is well over the national average, Taylor said. Peterson said the U. does not want to maintain its reputation of quality simply for reputation itself. "This is not some inane athletic boast where we want to going around saving We're No. 1 "Out of excellence comes an enormous return," Peterson said. "World knowledge doubles every four years. If we don't stay at the forefront of newness in global economics, we will be left behind," said Sue Marie Young, board chair. "Let's hope that the citizens of Utah have the courage to keep us there," she said. 14 KING RICHARD the SECOND C THEN February 1& 1 9 at 7.00 p.m. February 20 at 330 p.m. Bryant Intermediate School February 17 at 8.00 p.m. A Platform Presentation of Two one person plays Rupert Brooke and Slyvia Plath Pine Arts Auditorium.
